A six-time All-Pro and Super Bowl XL champion, Alan Faneca is among the many notable players drafted with the 26th overall pick, a spot that has produced the likes of future Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis and current Hall of Fame offensive lineman in Joe DeLamielleure. Faneca has twice been a Hall of Fame semifinalist, falling short of an induction despite a career that included nine Pro Bowl selections.

Proehl made the most of his 17-year NFL career, which included in a two-year stint with the Seahawks (1995-96). The 6-foot wideout caught 669 passes for 8,878 yards and 54 touchdowns, won Super Bowl XXXIV with the St. Louis Rams and played for the Colts during their 2006 championship season. In January, Proehl resigned from his wide receivers coach position with the Carolina Panthers.

Freeman spent eight of his nine NFL seasons with the Mike Holmgren and the Green Bay Packers, for whom he had an All-Pro season in 1998, catching 84 passes for 1,424 yards and 14 scores. He made two Super Bowl appearances, first helping Green Bay defeat New England in Super Bowl XXXI, and later losing to John Elway's Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXXII.

An All-Pro safety in 1993 with the Houston Oilers, Marcus Robertson ended his 12-year career with the Seahawks, playing the 2001 and '02 seasons in Seattle. Robertson jumped immediately into the coaching ranks, most recently taking over as the Denver Broncos defensive backs coach in January.

Drafted as a long snapper out of Ohio State, DeLeone was seldom used until he signed with the Cleveland Browns during the 1974 season. The 6-foot-2, 248-pound center found a starting spot on the Browns' offensive line in '75, eventually earning two Pro Bowl selections, the latter coming as a member of the 1980 "Kardiac Kids."

Walters was traded to the Eagles in 1975, then spent the next 23 years of his professional career in Philadelphia. Nine of those were as a player -- Walters made two Pro Bowls as a left tackle in 1978 and '79 -- then the next 14 were spent serving as the team's radio analyst on game days.

Mitchell, drafted out of The Citadel, rushed for 4,649 yards and 32 touchdowns during a nine-year career as a running back and special-teams return man. As the Seahawks running backs coach from 1999-2007, Mitchell worked closely with Shaun Alexander and has been described by the former Seattle star as "unsung hero" for his work with the 2005 league MVP.

Surely there haven't been many recent occasions when the Seahawks were envious of the Cleveland Browns. But it -- sort of -- happened Monday when Seattle general manager John Schneider, lamenting the fact Seattle doesn't currently have picks in the fourth or fifth rounds of the 2017 NFL draft, brought up Cleveland's abundance of picks.

"You want to have picks all the way through," Schneider said during a pre-draft press conference at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. "You kind of look at Cleveland's board like 'Dang, it's awesome.'"

Cleveland has 11 selections in the upcoming draft -- tied with the Cincinnati Bengals for the most of any team -- including two in the first round, which begins at 5 p.m. Pacific Thursday in Philadelphia. Seattle has seven total picks, the fewest it's had during the Schneider era.

For the second straight season, the Seahawks have the No. 26 overall section, though last year they ended up trading back. It's a slot that has produced five linemen who would later go on to have multiple Pro Bowl selections. Seattle's biggest need this year? Offensive linemen.

There have also been a handful of late-round picks who have gone on to have decade-long careers after being selected at the slots the Seahawks currently own. The gallery above highlights the notable players over the years taken with Seattle's draft slots.
